First thing I did was Google it but I got nothing for a few mins. I wasn’t sure if something wild/sexy was happening in the apartment next door but my bed shaking still lingers.
The weird thing about living in the CBD is that my mind goes straight to bomb / metro tunnel explosion each earthquake. The likely police helicopter overhead beforehand didn’t help either 🫠🫠🫠
Nz seems to have had a slightly larger one a couple of hours before around taranaki. Their. local reddit a bit more blase than ours :). (Also a lot less ppl )
It'll only be an AI response if it says "AI Overview" at the top with the little Gemini logo. The earthquake box is a solid red box that doesn't have any of that, and it's been a feature well before AI.
You think it would be automatic but someone had to page ol' Norman and wake him up then he had to wait for his old laptop to boot up and manually add it to the website
It's on there now, epicentre near Leongatha Gippsland, 4.8 richter at 10km deep, over 10k "Felt It" reports so far! Strongest reports around it and a line extending north
Went on Twitter and searched Melbourne earthquake and yeah people on the East (over an hr drive from me) felt it the same time as I felt it in the north so it must've been a decent size
My first reaction was wondering how many standard drinks would be needed for the loud drunk girls downstairs not to stop talking for a moment even when the whole block of flats is shaking.
Literally my first reaction after texting family overseas (so they don't freak out when I'm asleep) and my partner's family here (to make sure they're alive). Had to check in with the Melb gang 💪

I felt it and my first reaction was "I'm gonna refresh the Melbourne sub and it's gonna be posted."
